We woke up in the usual way, but it was not a usual day. Out on the lawn, plain as could be, stood an orange wishing tree.

'I wish!' I said.

'I wish!' said you.

And so our double wishes grew.

Wishes are a magical part of childhood. Whether we wish on stars or blow out candles on a cake, our dreams matter. Nancy Tillman captures the wonder of wishes as only she can, with love.
